the one and only way is to have 2 similar laptops where you can easy switch the disc from one to the other.

i have done that before with 2 laptops where i took the DVD player out and placed a disc instead and booted from this disk.
on the other 2 internal discs i had a second windows what could be used for booting as well and a bit other stuff.
there is also a way to run windows on an USB stick but it will also be slower.

to change such a disc is quite easy (same as a stick) but the 2 laptops must be the same because of drivers etc.
It's possible, but it depends on the budget.

You can do everything from redirected folders mapped over SMB3 (therefor streamed) and roaming profiles, and all the way to oldschool robocopy scripts triggered by local audit-events on monitored folders.

.. it depends on files/what kind of work) and budget

Office documents are easy - almost free. But if we are talking NLE video-editing, you gotta go down to blocklevel replication (SMB3 based with low latency)

Possible? yes, but is it worth it when you consider the complexity? hardly for a oneman shop
